Newbie From Bronx, NY

[Ikean Lucas]

Hey, my name is Ikean Lucas, I'm currently a City worker for now but I'm new to this business and would love some feedback from my fellow wholesalers and investors all over the tri-state area. I'm currently in the Bronx. Im in this business for the long haul and not the quick and out. I'm basically here to gain knowledge from others who share my common interest which is wholesaling. Flipping and buy and hold are in my future. Feel free to hit message me anytime.
